"We all come from different backgrounds, beliefs, professions, and places, but at the Dojo we are all one family with the same goal: to better ourselves and one another."
Instructors & Staff Our energetic, professional instructors and staff are what truly set The Way of the Shadow Martial Arts Academy apart from other schools. In addition to being extremely talented and innovative, they truly consider the students like family on and off the mat. And, since we do not hire outside instructors to teach our curriculum, all of our instructors have come up through the ranks of the Kage No Michi Ninjutsu system. Get to know our Instructors & Staff
Kage No Michi Ninjutsu Based on the strategy and theory of traditional Ninjutsu, Kage No Michi Ninjutsu is a modern style that focuses on practical, modern self defense techniques designed to keep the practitioner safe in today's environment. This eclectic martial art style encompasses all ranges of combat: long range, mid-range, clinch, as well as ground fighting. We believe that a martial artist must be proficient in all these areas to be adequately prepared to effectively deal with the wide variety of situations in which they may find themselves in today's modern world.
